So much black mushroom to the dark fruit, such as blackberries and brambleberries. Extremely aromatic. Full-bodied, yet refined and polished, with lovely tannins and fantastic typicity and complexity. It’s so multidimensional and structured, yet there’s a weightless character and personality to it. Thought-provoking and sophisticated. Real Pomerol. Drink after 2028, but a great experience already.

Full-bodied, concentrated, powerful, and rich, this beauty pops with licorice, smoke, flowers, roses, espresso, plums and chocolate in the nose. The wine is bold, intense and at the moment, slightly reticent, so give it a few years before popping a cork and you will be amply rewarded with layers of ripe, sweet, earthy, plums, blackberries, black cherries, truffle and chocolate. Drink from 2027-2055.

The 2020 Le Gay was an impressive Pomerol when tasted from barrel. Now, in bottle, it has a wonderful, exquisitely-defined bouquet with perfumed blackberry and briary, incense and light pencil lead aromas. It's quite understated for Le Gay, yet blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite grainy tannins. Well-balanced, fresh, hints of licorice and brine towards a very saline finish. There is an edginess to this wine that I like, but it needs several years in bottle.

90 % Merlot, 10 % Cabernet Franc, 35 hl/ ha. Tiefes Purpur mit opaker Mitte und lila Reflexen. Dichter Waldbeercocktail mit Lakritze und hellem Malz, dahinter Fliedernoten, Brombeerkonfitüre und Burleytabak. Am sublimen Gaumen mit ungeheurer Energie und Kraft, seidige Textur, körniges Extrakt, zarter Schalenton, engmaschiges Tanningerüst, salziges Extrakt und muskulöser Körper. Im konzentrierten Finale mit schwarzbeerige Konturen, dunklem Graphit und fein sandiger Adstringenz. Besser als 2018 und 2019!
